    Writers Strike - are any of you affected or striking yourselves?

    I'm not in deep enough yet to be apart of the strike, but my sentiments are surely with my writing brothers and sisters in arms 🤝

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting 2023

    Yeah of course! I wish you all the luck in your grad school process! 1. They didn't interview me for the screenwriting program at the time when I applied, but I heard that have started interviewing candidates now. And I believe they do for the production departments as well. 2. I'm not aware...

    Film & TV Discussions THE LIGHTHOUSE (Film Discussion - WARNING SPOILERS but *GO SEE IT*)

    Ohhh I do remember them talking about a lobster trap! I missed what they were talking about exactly in that scene, it was a bit hard to understand Defoe's accent earlier in the film when I was still acclimating. Although the accent really made the performance, I loved it

    Film & TV Discussions THE JOKER - (Film discussion)

    Also all of the people bullying him in the movie just felt like movie stock characters, not so much people you’d see in real life

    Film & TV Discussions THE JOKER - (Film discussion)

    Yeah the themes of this movie was really weird and didn’t feel appropriate for the subject matter. I’m usually against the media on this kind of thing but some of the stuff I heard was actually grounded in reality this time surprisingly. It’s a movie about a guy who gets spit on by society and...

    Film & TV Discussions THE JOKER - (Film discussion)

    Yeah I agree! I mean, for what it was his performance was great. But I think it was just an over excess of performance for me, probably due to the director, maybe not. It felt more like stock looney tunes character than breathing human being to me. And I just simply could not sympathize with his...

    Film & TV Discussions THE LIGHTHOUSE (Film Discussion - WARNING SPOILERS but *GO SEE IT*)

    Yeah there was some good stuff in the Q&A! Willem Defoe is charming as hell. They stories about how bad the weather was were pretty entertaining haha. I think the thing that stuck with me the most was Robert Eggers saying that he gets equally flattered and offended when people ask him if certain...

    I'm also with you on Joker. Everyone's in love with that movie but I wasn't very high on it. Writing failed and Phoenix's performance was just too much for me. Very disappointed, but oh well they're not all gonna hit.

    Film & TV Discussions THE LIGHTHOUSE (Film Discussion - WARNING SPOILERS but *GO SEE IT*)

    YES!!! I saw it with a Q&A with Robert Eggers and Willem Defoe at The Landmark! It was amazing. My favorite film of 2019 so far. It's literally the perfect spiral into madness, the way it's gradually done is amazing. The performances are impeccable, cinematography and music/sound are gorgeous...
